 〇 Why we recommend it!

The Mino washi paper used is a traditional Japanese paper with over 1,300 years of history.

The way it rolls back up again and again even after falling over evokes Mickey’s cheerful, energetic spirit. The brightness of Mickey Mouse, who has brought smiles across generations, overlaps beautifully with the warm feel of washi. Crafted using techniques passed down at Ishikawa Paper Goods Ltd. since 1902, it is a celebratory, good-luck item filled with charm.
